five years, a rent of Six shillings per hundred acres, and to settle their holdings within ten years. Unless one-third of a person's est- ate had not been settled at the end of a four-year period, the owner forfeited his claim to the land.

This silly lottery for many s. year hindered the prosperity of the island, as many of the lucky draw- ers neglected to live up to their part of the bargain.

Walter Patterson became gover- nor ln W68. He found the colony almost as scarce of inhabitants as Old Mother Hubbard found her cupboard scarce of food. The French had nearly all departed and only 300 families remained to take the oath of allegiance to Britain. Very few new settlers were coming in, and little had been done to clear the land or build roads. Such travel as there was, went by water or by blazed trail. Herc in this quiet secluded paradise, bears, foxes, otter and wildcats roamed the stately forests with no fear save from the occasional deadly arrows of the Indians and white hunters. .

(Iharlottetown boasted but two houses and one wharf. It was one of these houses that was occupied by Patterson that first winter after his arrival, and we are informed that he spent many hours trying to make the place comfortable against the long winter months.

The following spring 120 British families arrived, and from then on a small but steady stream of im- migration came to make homes in the Island “cradled on the waves."

All the while Governor Patter- son was very busy scheming new ways to improve living conditions among the settlers. Among the im- provements he instituted were these. namely: that Charlottetown be made larger, that lots should run from street to street. that each settler should have 12 acres

A few weeks ago we wrote of the Holy Spirit ls l new dynamic, the release of a divine energy avail- able to faith for the purposes of the Kingdom 0f Ciod. The import- cncc of this cannot be over-esti- mated. A young woman once be- moancd the fact that the dynamic had gone out of her life; there was nothing to which she could give herself no cs/use that she could enter into enthusiastically as worth a life-investment. The baptism of the Holy Spirit brings that force lnto our lives as a gift from God. Now we wish to present another. aspect of the same reality _ the heavenly companion who works through the believer to serve- God's objects in our world. Life in this fellowship is the highest condition

He also wrote the home govern- ment fora grant of money to build u. church. a court house and a jail. "There is not even a barn in which to assemble to worship," he wrote.

His next step was to lay out roads from Charlottetown to other settlements, and to encourage the farmers in their hard struggle with poverty. l-Iow well his plans suc- ceeded may be gleaned from the following item: "By i771, corn. oats. barley, wheat and potatoes of good quality were being raised... As for garden stuff, no country produces better."

It was during Governor Patter- son's regime that the first Parlia- ment came into being. About this time an act had been passed to re- gulate the Sea Cow Fishery as fish- crmm from New England and the adjoining provinces had been slaughtering them in thousands off the north shore of Prince Edward Island.

The Sea. Cows grew to be large animals: many of the-m when f-ull grown weighed as much as 4,000 pounds. They were hunted for their valuable ol1..

to which the human soul can rile In this earthly life.

Dr. F‘. B. Meyer, whose conseiws- ness of that Divine possession took such beautiful forms, illustrated in this way what it meant to him. Ho was on his way to Scandinavia to give c. series of addresses on the higher life in Christ when he fell into a deep depression. Ho felt his mission could not possibly be n success. For one thing he ,woulcl have to speak through an inter- preter and he could not see how real spiritual power could be com- municated to an audience in that indirect wuy.

When he reached his hotel he found there a little maiden who was able to pick out l. few familiar tunes with one finger on the piano, and with these she was making the guests familiar. much to their anguish. One morning a. famous musician came to the hotel and he took in the slbuation at a glance. l-le pulled urp his chair behind the wee girl, and made each note that she struck the theme of the most exquisite improvisiun. Soon the room was filled with an eager crowd who listened breathlessly. When the performance was over, the musician took the little girl biy the hand and turning towards the listeners he said. “Allow me ladies and gentlemen, to introduce to you the young lady to whom you are indebted for this music."

It was true. What she did was the occasion for his playing. But it was his inter-quotation that they would remember. In that incident; Dr. Meyer saw how God could use his hesitating utterances in a strange land for divine ends.

St. John uses the words advocate and helper to describe this Divine Helper: "If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father in Jesus Christ the Just.“ (.1 John 2:1). Now St. John was a Hebrew, and back of his use of this figure was the ancient Hebrew idea of the "next-of-kin." The next-cf-lrin was every person's champion. If c mm lost his family heritage the next-of kin had the right to b/iry it back. If he died childless, the next-of-kln was expected to perpetuate his fam- iliv. All this is brought out in that charming idyil of ancient life The Book of Ruth. If a man were slain. the next-of-kin was B5 the Avenger of blood. When St. John tzries to show us the functions of this Divine Companion the gift of the ascended Lord (Acts use). his mind goes back to the place of the next-of-kin in every person's life-his champion in every emergency. When we sin. He leads us to repentance and brings us pardon. Whatever help we need for the outworking of Christ's purpose in our world, this

Really the word mean! one called to the side of another to give him any support that he may need. l-le inspires and strengthens the believer for all creative action. George Elliot describes Stradivar- ius as glorying in the fact that, while God inspires the musician He inspires Stzradlvarlus to make the best violins for the mast- er's hand. “'Whlle God gives them skill I give them instruments to play upon, God choosing me to help Him . . .
